Terrano reliability

[Rusty Spanner]

Anyway thanks to those that offered some help

Think I better make my way over to one of them erm Land Rover Forums before the Fender gives up the ghost

Are they proper forums by the way :augie or do Nissan forums pull them out of the MUD also

Later people :thumbs

Crawl back in your hole :doh

Play nicely!!

You came here for advice on a Nissan forum and we gave you our informed "opinions" based on our own experiences.

You brought a Defender that was your choice, a very capable motor mate and I would love to own one.

Like all motors if looked after from the start like rustics Maverick they will more than likely outlast most modern cars, it's luck of the draw, metal is metal and it will oxidise and rust eventually if not protected, some more than other depending on environment and usage.

I wish you all the best with your Defender mate and hope it brings you many happy years of motoring :thumbs

How about a few pics?

If you need to compare a Jap Motor against a landy.Have a look and see what the Aussie folk in the out back use.Nuff Said..

This threads going in the wrong direction

My first comment about a real 4 x 4 was a bit of wit, it was meant in jest, sorry to offend I really didn't think it would be taken that way

I really did fancy a Terrano as previously stated.... I've had Land Rovers all my Life I know what they are pitfalls and all, and believe me they have them :doh. The only thing that stopped me buying a Terrano was the fact I couldn't find one that didn't need welding. I know what your thinking you'll struggle finding a Defender that's not been bitten by the tin worm, and you would be right
Although I can weld I doubt I would be up to reconstructing the sill sections and rear floor of a Terrano were as chassis work on a Defender is no problem ,
I was looking for a SWB Terrano without any signs of Tin worm, something I could of kept on top off with a bit of preventative maintenance, I just couldn't find one



Cheers Banshee I'll post a couple of pics next time I'm out and about

Cheers people take care .... Now were did I put that AA card .....

To be fair Rusty Spanner was quite right, they are rot boxes especially the newer ones and that's why I haven't got myself a new one. There are some right sheds about and garages want top dollar for them. What's worse the older ones are often getting so long in the tooth they're not a good buy either. Personally I want to be in the queue to buy Rustic's :lol.

I also don't give a stuff what anyone drives and I like Landy's too. All car's have their common issues and if you are familiar with a particular car the issues may not worry you.

This needs shutting down, the blokes a mug and can't take advice, one day someone on here will pass the prick stuck in the mud.
Mods, can this thread be closed.

Firebobby, words have been said now and I think all involved have reined it back in, I think we're all back on track now and no more insults have been thrown around since.

If it does get a little heated again I will close the thread, we're all adults here and I'd rather deal with it this way than going straight for the all out close thread and ban option.

Chances are Rusty won't vist again anyway now he's brought his Defender so we'll play it by ear

Another keyboard warrior, whom I doubt very much would call me a prick to my face

 

[briggie]

we are all adults here , and have varying views on different vehicles ..... that's good .. but respect others please ...... you pays ya money and ya makes ya choice ...... no need for profanity or name calling ..... shake hands and respect each others views

 

[Rusty Spanner]

Not got a problem with anyone

Never had a crossed word with firebobby and he calls me a mug and a prick

You know the funny thing is he drives a 3.0ltr, I was inches away from buying one and I asked for advice about the 3.0ltr engine He wasn't so quick to post then, and yet he has the cheek to say I cant take advice, He didn't offer any................ just abuse

Doesn't matter though, I'm not going to run off, I quite like the Terrano I've enjoyed mooching through the forum some of your cars are amazing and who knows maybe one day I'll stumble across one :thumb2

Hey Rusty dude, as you have seen the folks here do get protective of their trucks, as I'm sure you will do with your new one.

I'm sure no malice was intended in any comment from anyone including yourself :thumb2

Feel free to stick around here if you're still interested in the Terrano's :thumb2

 

[Rusty Spanner]

No problem Bat mate (you still hangin about with Robin) matters closed with me

 

[Bat21]

....you still hangin about with Robin....

funny you should mention that, I was only in Gotham City just this afternoon.... had to get the company car serviced :thumbs

You ask for advice then start throwing mud at people because you can't find a decent T2, you obviously aren't looking very hard pal, I do have a 3.0 and have no issues with it, the later engines are sorted.
As for keyboard warrior :lol:lol:lol
Toddle of to your LR mates

 

[Bat21]

You ask for....

John, how about showing a little self control here chap..... replying like that when Rusty has already said the matter is closed is somewhat churlish and embarrassing don't you think :doh makes you look a bit of a prat, which I'm sure you're not :thumb2

 

[firebobby]

Sorry Bat, just being protective mate :thumb2
